A gunman apparently enraged that a van had struck a 2-year-old boy Sunday on Milwaukee's northwest side not only "assassinated" the driver of the van — in the words of Mayor Tom Barrett — but cut down the toddler's brother, who had rushed to the scene.Rasheed T. Chiles, 15, had been attending a party at a nearby house with his brother, 2-year-old Damani T. Terry.
Archie Brown Jr., 40, was driving the van about 5:10 p.m. Sunday in the 4600 block of N. 48th St., near Wahl Park, when he hit Damani, who had darted into the road, according to Milwaukee police. Brown immediately jumped out and — by all accounts — was grieving and upset as he stood over the body.
A gunman shot and killed Brown, according to police. "Someone got angry," Barrett said. "Someone took a gun and basically assassinated this gentleman."

Archie Brown Jr. must not have read Christian Schneider's column, or else he would know how safe he actually is. Schneider could read his column at Mr. Brown's funeral so his whole family would know how safe he is.

Christian Schneider is not just wrong, he is dead wrong. As he asks at the end of his column(slightly edited):

The question is, how wrong does Christian Schneider have to be before we stop believing him?

Christian Schneider is a symptom and not the problem The fact is Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has promoted Scott Walker for years an no one does so more shamelessly than Schneider. He is our divide-and-conquer Governor's biggest booster.

The type of carnage that happened on the North side of Milwaukee is exactly what they need to fan the flames of racism and distract from the out-of-state multinational corporate agenda they stand for.

There is not taking back Wisconsin until we find a way to organize meaningful economic action against the state's largest newspaper and the business that advertise in it regularly and underwrite the hate speech on TMJ-AM and the rest of the squawk-radio format.

Now that you mention it, Schnieder's nose is large and deformed enough that it would fit in a size 9 shoe. Maybe someone should sell him one. Thanks for the suggestion.

As for his writing quality, when you are a propaganda artist, it isn't the beauty of your pros that count, it is the way you get the corporate agenda across. Just like admen are not great writes nor are they judged by how well they right, what matters if your ability to tell a lie over and over again.

Next to go is the 48 hour waiting period so that if an individual is outraged he can race to the nearest gun shop, buy his weapon of choice and shoot up the neighborhood. Come on people will this nonsense of allowing everybody to carry a gun ever stop? Mr. Brown might have been able to defend himself from fists, a hammer or a knife............but I've yet to see someone stop a bullet. Lets end this nonsense that guns make us safer!

There have been some insightful posts at '' Political Heart"regarding concealed carry.that I haven't seen picked up by any other bloggers. The facts show or at least the statistic that we are not safer.

The shooter has not been identified as of this writing, so how can you jump to the conclusion that the shooter possessed a valid state concealed carry permit? My guess is he does not have one. Want to bet?

The teabaggers you now entertain, blaska, don't actually find your rants meaningful either, but using you as some type of reformed progressive (NOT!) is useful. You really degrade yourself when you grandstand for them because they still think you are nuts.

Did you really think that if you started to, you know, teabag, that they would like you for servicing them?

Yeah, the shooter was on extended supervision for bank robbery; as a felon, not permitted to possess a weapon, much less conceal carry. That law is almost a century old. Funny, that law still didn't stop him.

Blaska, the always-wrong troll. We do not even know if the gun was concealed an there would have been a need for a carry permit. Your guess means little or nothing (well, the latter).

repug pigs want there to be more guns, concealed or otherwise. You are trying to sound off here like you have made an important finding of fact. Nothing could be further from the truth (and you wouldn't know a fact if it was delivered via certified mail with a 6 foot identification label).

Let's just get more guns out there, in the hands of men, women, children, animals, trees, flowers, other plants. It's what God intended which is why when you kill a person with a gun you go to the head of the line, skip purgatory, and take the brown-line express to heaven.

"If you are for gun control, then you are not against guns. Because guns will be needed to disarm people. So, it's not that you are anti-gun. You'll need the Police's guns to take away other people's guns. As a result, you are very pro gun; you just also happen to believe that only Gvmt (which is, of course, so reliable, honest, moral and virtuous...) should be allowed to have guns. There is no such thing as gun control. There is only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small, political elite and their minions." -- Stefan Molyneaux

So when did all you Lefties become so stupid and complacent? Let the adults handle this. You petulant children have more than worn out your welcome.

This is NOT Blaska. Childish, irrational rants!?! From the side that skips work (if they aren't already professional Gvmt teat suckers) to scream a lie into a bullhorn until the batteries run out? From the side filled with revisionist historians?!? From the side that if they can't legislate, they litigate and if they can't litigate, they agitate!?!

Yeah. You're all adults. Tell me again. Because if you repeat it often enough, according to Alynski and Goebbels, your HEROES, it somehow becomes the truth in your warped, twisted, paradoxically myopic world's.

But I sincerely applaud David Blaska and his comments here. Because like me, he's not afraid to stand up the libturds. There is time for discourse, time for discussion, time for arguing, and yes, even time for cognitive dissonance. Where David and I draw the line, is arguing with the enemy. I have no problem with a difference of opinion, as long as it's based in fact. But when we are arguing with an idiot-ology that has based itself in a lie, well, you sink to the level of enemy. You have every right to be attacked! In fact, you should not only expect it, but get used to it. After all, you put this out there, so it's fair game for responses.

Jake, so where is your little rally at Milwaukee Journel Sentinel or whatever media you ate constantly complaining about. What's wrong with you anyhow? You flame others here for what you post here daily. Why are you all talk mo action but you think you can insult others who are actually fighting the media.

With folks like you, it's no wonder we get crushed. But at least you told everyone else what to do.

Oh, your handle oozes enough testosterone for all. What's the matter, aren't you man enough to be called out when you flame others who you know nothing about, folks that are actually organizing action, so you can blog whore?

It's true you insult others for the type of posts you make here daily.

It isn't about manhood and such claims are the last resort of scoundrels. Surprise surprise! You don't play nice with other progressives and then pretend to be more manly!

WHAAAA-$ka....what you do not get it the selfless hours spent reporting real issues. Dee Hall had an account to write checks during a caucus scandel. The current guv is caught red handed via JD1 JD2 emails and we get a "yeah....we may get our press passes revoked...." It'$ all B.S; and those who read the news, know it.

While I do think Schneider's comment is ludicrous ... (Really? Conceal carry training makes us safer? Just carrying adds to an unsafe atnmospher in my opnion.) ... I do think it unfair to pin this tragedy on him. Partisan hack he may be, but implicit in this tragedy, nope.
